Or will we be gone by then? No homework.
I realize it's burning, but burn out completely?

What would we see if it completely burned up?

Craig C's answer is so far the best. By the time the sun has expanded to engulf Venus, earth would have long been uninhabitable by our present standards.
The sun's expansion into the red giant stage will begin to occur some 4 to 5 billion years from now. There are no multicellular species that have existed for such a long period of time. In fact, multicellular life itself is only 650 million years old. Mosquitos are pretty close to the same now as they were 200 million years ago, but it is extremely rare for any species to survive that long. There is no good reason to think our species will still be around 100 million years from now.
Homo sapiens is about 200,000 years old. It is possible we may not even survive another 200,000 years.

Venus is not burning, it is hot but no combustion, it has been there for as long as earth (4.5 billion years or so).
However when the Sun explodes (in about 5 billion years or so) Venus will be engulfed in that explosion, and so will the Earth.
We will probably disappear as a species within the next millennium, to be replaced by our own creation of improved or super humans.

I'm assumimg your talking about when the sun starts dying out and expanding in size and all the planets get sucked into its gravitational pull? That's gonna happen when 4.5 billion years from now? If there are humans on earth at that time, then yes they will see Venus blow up, but maybe not with the naked eye.

The earth would not be suitable for humans by then...if venus is burning up-then we are getting pretty warm

we may be seeing this celestial view with our own eyes or may be with microscopes, for the burning of the venus is not going to effect our planet or i think so.

If we are still here then, we'll have about 2 minutes to see it until we get blasted too.
